It was one of several big divorces this year, Christina Aguilera and husband Jordan Bratman decided to call it quits. Both parties have been quiet about the situation even with speculation of cheating on her part. It was actually shocking that they would split because they seemed very much in love and just had a child within the last couple years. In the latest issue of ‘People,’ the ‘Burlesque’ star opens up about the reasons why she decided to leave Bratman and how she believes it will benefit her family in the end.
“Things were so unhealthy and unhappy for both Jordan and me, I knew I had to end it,” the Burlesque star, 29, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. “I really didn’t want to hurt Jordan, and I felt torn about splitting our family up.”
Aguilera witnessed abuse by her parents while she was growing up and felt like her relationship was leading to unhealthy thing for her son, Max, to see.
“When you’re unhappy in your marriage, your children are the ones who suffer,” says the Grammy-winning pop singer, whose own parents’ tumultuous relationship led to divorce when she was 7. “That’s the last thing I wanted for my son.”
Since the split she has a hit movie out and is currently dating set assistant Matt Rutler that she met while filming ‘Burlesque’. Which may actually fuel the cheating rumors because the movie was filmed last year… and the divorce is only a couple months old. Hmmmmmm!
